KEEP THIS IN YOUR FIELD NOTES

An open door isn’t
a haunted house.

An open port means a service is listening. It doesn’t, by itself, prove a vulnerability or a compromise.

Open

A service is accepting connections or packets.

Closed

The port responds, but no application is listening.

Filtered

Nmap cannot tell whether it’s open or closed.
